When Isaac is old, his focus continues to be for Esau. As his sight leaves him, he seeks to bless Esau. But Rebekah overhears Isaac’s intentions and, in a plot to deceive her husband and take advantage of his blindness, because her focus is Jacob, she recruits Jacob to pass himself off as Esau and be the supplanter.
